title: Honeycomb-patterned phthalocyanine films with photo-active antibacterial activities.
abstract: We report honeycomb-patterned phthalocyanine (Pc) films fabricated by self-assembly of dodecyloxy-azo-Zinc phthalocyanine (daZnPc) using the breath figure (BF) technique. These ultrathin Pc films exhibit a robust photo-dependent antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli (E. coli).
